looks like one I got to my arm. Last (broken) 600 x 300mm tile in the box I'd dumped in a Gorilla tub and then reached past while grouting. Had 6 stitches 🙁

close David, cut tiles for a pillar, leant them against gorilla tub of addy, went to next room to pick up my tape measure, then came back, stood over my bucket and gashed my leg on tile (cut edge up) that was leaning against bucket. 4 inch gash, more gaping than deep tbh.
 
Ouch !!

Funny part was, I was working for a surgeon and he didn't even have even an Elastoplast in the house - nothing. He did stitch it up at the hospital later though


EDIT: After I finished grouting his bathroom

Done the same thing 5 years ago...cut a tile and the cut piece fell off table on down my shin..deep cut that had to have stitches...and only last week throne off cuts in gorillia tub..leant over and cut my arm open..Last year I finished a job off for a guy in Milton keynes..he did the shower room himself..nice job but asked why he didnt finish it himself and he showed me his arm...he cant use 3 fingers because of the tendons that were cut buy a tile..his arm is a mess..
